I was just looking again at his career stats as well as Hope's all-time stats and noticed that there are only 2 players in Hope's history to reach:

1000+ points400+ assists200+ steals400+ rebounds

Those players are Joel Holstege and David Krombeen. In fact Holstege and Krombeen are 1-2 in Assists and Steals. Most impressive to me for these point guards, is that they rebounded so well (Krombeen is in the top 10 all-time for defensive rebounds).

I just found out that Hope is increasing its data bandwidth to five times its current rate. Bandwidth rates for the fall semester have yet to be determined. This is a good omen for those who have wished that Hope provide video of basketball games. I am not saying the will to provide video is there, but at least now the bandwidth is.

They did provide a full broadcast of the games the first weekend in the tournament. From my conversations with Hope, I am under the impression they didn't do this - or prepare - for just the NCAA. I suspect this is an investment in the future for broadcasting games and events.

The in-screen score and multiple (closer) camera angles gave the Hope tourney video a superior feel to the Calvin broadcasts. In a perfect world, I'd love to see a game clock with the in-screen score, and a replay once in a while would also be nice. The student announcers did a serviceable job, but it would also be even better to integrate the "real" broadcast from radio with the video.

Wouldn't the video production of sporting events be a great "laboratory" for the media production majors? We're starting from a place of minimal expectations and it's "free labor".

It's my understanding that Hope is working very deliberately on this project, wanting it to be a high-quality endeavor. That may mean (and I have no knowledge one way or the other, just a hunch), that this takes longer than being ready by next basketball season. They seem much more concerned with doing it right than doing it fast, and I'm glad to hear that.

And... WMU (14-20 overall and 6-10 MAC) averaged 2,744 in attendance for 2011/2012 in their University Arena (5421). If that's a measuring stick, Steve Hawkins could be the next to follow coach Ziegler.

BTW, Hope averaged 3,259 in attendance for 2011/2012 in the DeVos Fieldhouse (3,400).

The Hope game was WMU's 3rd highest attended game after CMU and Miami.
